CB Rogers out, CB Wright active vs. Packers

GREEN BAY, Wis. – As expected, 49ers cornerback Carlos Rogers will not play in today’s wild-card playoff game against the Packers after a hamstring injury prevented him from practicing this week.

Both Rogers and cornerback Eric Wright (hamstring) were listed as questionable, but Wright, who was limited in practice Thursday and Friday, is active for the game. Jim Harbaugh downplayed the severity of Wright’s injury, which he sustained in practice Thursday, and the 49ers hope he’ll be at full strength against pass-happy Green Bay.

The Packers used at least three wide receivers on 77 percent of their offensive snaps this season, according to Pro Football Focus. In a 34-28 season-opening loss to the 49ers, they trotted out at least three wideouts on 87 percent of their snaps.

Tarell Brown will assume Rogers’ spot and will start with Tramaine Brock. Wright will pay nickel cornerback and Perrish Cox, who was signed Monday, will appear in the 49ers’ dime packages.

There are no surprises among the 49ers’ other inactives. That group consists of DL Quinton Dial, OL Ryan Seymour, OL Joe Looney, WR Jon Baldwin, LB Nick Moody and TE Derek Carrier.
